Could a clarification be made to the article?

The article states: The concept of a doctor assisting suicide was controversial within the US at the time and he was known as "Dr Death". This leaves the impression that it no longer is controversial now. However, it remains controversial; only three states out of fifty allow any kind of assisted suicide, and those states closely restrict its practice. Mattisse (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for alternative wording: The concept of a doctor assisting suicide is controversial within the US at the time and he was known as "Dr Death".

I will try to change it myself, as I have been criticised in the past for doing so. So this is a risk for me! Forgive me if I do wrong. Mattisse (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

The limit is 24 hours; I don't tend to time it to an exact hour and prefer to interpet it as 'roughly one day'. As such, after checking the new info you added, I sighted the change. Adding something to show ongoing controversy would be good, too. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 16:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
